Battle of the Bulge
“Bastogne”
At 0530 A.M. on December 16, 1944, a
quarter-million German Soldiers launched a surprise attack
along an 85-mile front, creating a bow in the American
lines, which ultimately gave the battle its name. 83,000
members of the 101st Airborne Division in and
around the town of Bastogne, Belgium found themselves
surrounded. On December 26, 1944, the 4th
Armored Division, part of General George Patton’s U.S. Third
Army, managed to fight through to Bastogne, opening a
corridor only 300 yards wide but sufficient to keep the town
in American hands. The fighting in the bulge would continue
for weeks before the original battle lines were restored.
In scope, intensity and duration, this was the single
greatest battle the American Army fought during World War II
in Europe, and the last great German offensive.
